Would you please Create an original thread based on all three stories (ARABY, EVELINE, Where Are You Going, Where Have You Been” by Joyce Carol Oates); and use AT least two of the terms from the “Fictional Device” and two “Elements of Fiction” lists in your original thread. The stories are attached. Thank you!
Fictional Devices
Symbolism: the art of investing meaning in a thing which, in the context of the story, comes to represent some other thing (e.g. colors, animals, geography/place, numbers, metaphors, inanimate objects)
Irony: the use of words being used in direct opposition to the literal meaning (Think of Chris Farley’s use of finger quotes) or a stark contrast between what is expected to occur and what actually transpires
Satire: the use of sarcasm, irony, or parody to poke fun at and critique vice or folly (e.g. The Daily Show, Saturday Night Live, political cartoons)
Theme: the subject or unifying idea, which contains the thesis of the story (It’s what the story is about!)
Subtext: what lies under the superficial theme/context of the story; it’s implied rather than explicitly stated (It’s what the story is REALLY about!)
Elements of Fiction .

In media res: beginning in the middle of things
